Culleton 'not thinking' of leaving Hanson

One Nation senator Rod Culleton has criticised the priorities of his leader Pauline Hanson, but says he's not considering leaving the party despite their very public rift.

The tension has been mounting for weeks, with the rogue West Australian most recently angering Senator Hanson by going his own way on the backpacker tax vote.

In November, she supported a High Court probe into his eligibility to run for parliament and he also got a "please explain" from her over a letter he wrote to a Queensland magistrate.

Earlier this month, after she said he was not a team player and his time in politics had "gone to his head", the former farmer said he would absolutely consider his future with the party over Christmas.

He told reporters in Perth on Monday, however, he was "not even thinking about that" but was opposed to Senator Hanson's focus on banning burqas and also her support for the joint Gina Rinehart-Chinese acquisition of the Kidman cattle empire.
